Rio Olympics 2016

After Marin defeated Sindhu in the final at the Rio Games to become the first non-Asian woman to win the Olympics gold in the badminton singles event, the Spanish government rewarded her with ^94,000 (approx Rs 70 lakh).

Dipa, who became the first Indian gymnast to qualify for an Olympic finals event, earlier said it was a dream to receive such a huge gift from Tendulkar, but she had decided to return it due to maintenance issues.
